[edit]The article gives two definitions, but I'm not entirely clear on what they mean, or what the modifier "criminal" is intended to mean in them. As I understand it, in common-law jurisdictions at least, the term "criminal libel" distinguishes libel that constitutes a criminal offense from libel as a tort prosecuted in a civil suit. Is that the intended meaning? --Delirium (talk) 08:38, 9 October 2009 (UTC)
- I agree. I came here to learn what "criminal libel" means and left here non the wiser. QueenBrigitte (talk) 08:58, 15 March 2025 (UTC)
